Student leaders and the organizations they lead at school provide a large variety of services to the school and the community. Through these activities, they offer service that dramatically influences the lives of others. In keeping with the theme for this year’s National Student Leadership Week (see www.nasc.us/nslw for details), what can student leaders like you do to save lives? When is the application due? All seniors who wish to be nominated to apply for a NHS scholarship must turn in their complete application to Mrs. Lees-Carr or Ms. Dapsauski by Wednesday, January 5, 2011. How should the application be submitted? Applications may be submitted electronically (through email) or printed (hard copy). When will nominations be announced?
